Climate change is one of the highest priority ESG issues for investors and an increasingly important business issue for companies. We are focused on understanding the challenges and opportunities for businesses posed by climate change in terms of both physical and transition risk.
A key step for businesses focused on managing the transition risk by reducing their carbon footprint is to have robust measuring and reporting processes in place in line with the GHG Protocol. We are engaging with portfolio companies to ensure that they are taking this foundational step on the path to setting credible decarbonisation targets.
